Join Us for ProQuest Day April 10 and Win a 32G AppleÂ® iPad

ProQuest Day is coming to the Texas A&M University
Libraries April 10, 2012. This first-time event will feature demos and
presentations about available databases from ProQuest, one of the world’s largest vendors
of electronic databases to libraries and other educational institutions. Demos
will be 9 a.m.–noon, at Sterling C. Evans Library in Room 204E and 1–3 p.m. at
West Campus Library front lobby.

Faculty, staff, researchers, and students are invited to
attend. ProQuest will provide refreshments and promotional items. Participants
can sign up for a drawing and a chance to win a 32G Apple® iPad.

“Because our students and faculty rely heavily on ProQuest
databases, we’re very pleased that their staff will provide demos of their
latest products,” LaVerne Gray, learning and outreach librarian and coordinator
of the event, said. “And representatives for RefWorks and GIS resources, materials
which are very popular with our users, will also demo their products.”

In February 2010, the Libraries tripled its ProQuest content
through a brokered
5-year agreement to acquire new content across all disciplines at the same
cost. ProQuest
is co-sponsoring the event along with the Libraries’ departments of Learning & Outreach and Collection
Development & Acquisitions Services.
